Ozteopathy 2009 – Due to demand, this year the program has been expanded to three streams of education sessions and practical workshops where you’ll develop valuable skills and tools you can put into practice straight away! Ozteopathy 2009 will give Osteopaths a wonderful opportunity to meet with, listen to and learn from colleagues from all over the world. Delegates will hear from a huge array of Australian and International speakers, all of whom are certain to challenge and stimulate your interest - and you'll have some fun!
Ozteopathy is an ideal interaction point. It’s the perfect forum for those seeking new ways to pursue Best Practice, both clinically, as a business, and personally. As well, delegates will connect with other osteopaths at the right place, at the right time and most importantly, in the right frame of mind.
We kick off with a welcome reception on the evening of Thursday 15th October, followed by three full days of conference program, forums and events; including the conference dinner on Saturday 17th October. The conference pack, provided to all delegates, will contain the full quota of information, presentations and lecture notes, as well as contacts for on-going learning and follow ups.
With a wide range of practice, practical and scientific sessions and some exceptional Australian and international keynote speakers this is your opportunity to discover and develop new strategies for your practice, business and professional understanding of Osteopathy. You will leave the conference with new resources to boost your business, tap into and meet the key speakers and learn about new opportunities.
